Major Roads
The city is the focal point of Scotland's trunk road network and has many road connections to other cities. Glasgow has a less congested road network than Edinburgh, and the argument for congestion charging has not been as great. The city is linked to the rest of the country by the following main roads.
- A8/M8: Main east-west corridor which links Glasgow to Edinburgh, and Greenock to the west.
- A82: Dumbarton, Loch Lomond and the North West Highlands
- A80/M80: Stirling and the North East
- A77/M77: Kilmarnock, Ayr and the South West
- A74/M74: Main link to the South and England
